Following up from the
White Hussars, I have the Black Hussars (
Prussian Hussar Rgt Nr 5) These were done with the same "Hussar in Mirleton" sculpts as the other group. I tried to stick with picking out the most vibrant colors as the red edging and white lacing are the only colors that will 'pop' for this unit.
The other detail I have added is with the horses. All of the Old Glory cavalry packs have the same collections of horse models. These are mostly stationary castings with a few dynamic poses thrown in. I have sorted out all of my bags to get enough chargers for these regiments. That means that the other regiments will have to be standing. Not sure yet if it is worth the effort.
These hussars really look sharp!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteA beautiful paintjob for a falous unit!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!
Delete"falous unit" is a funny homophone!
DeleteVery nice unit of hussars - the mirliton is such an iconic headgear.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, it also helps the Prussians stand out from the Austrian Hussars on the table.
DeleteThanks, I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThey look very fine, Jake, and I for one think that combining the charging horses for this flamboyant unit was well worth the effort!
